This graduate seminar will focus on the effects of human activity on tidal marshes. We will read the book [http://www.ucpress.edu/book.php?isbn=9780520258921 Human Impacts on Salt Marshes (Silliman et al. 2009. Univ. Calif. Press)]. Most sessions will be lead by graduate students who will work individually or in pairs to prepare a 30 minute lecture on their topic, followed by 30-50 minutes of presenter-led discussion. Discussion should be centered around a set of question sent out to class participants at least 2 days before the class (i.e., Sunday afternoon at the latest).

EEB 5894-003: Seminar - Ecology and Conservation of Tidal Marshes

This graduate seminar will focus on the effects of human activity on tidal marshes. We will read the book Human Impacts on Salt Marshes (Silliman et al. 2009. Univ. Calif. Press). Most sessions will be lead by graduate students who will work individually or in pairs to prepare a 40 minute (total) lecture on their topic, followed by 30-40 minutes of presenter-led discussion. Discussion should be centered around a set of question sent out to class participants at least 2 days before the class (i.e., Sunday afternoon at the latest).

The course will run simultaneously, and will involve instructors and students, at five institutions. Meetings will take place on-line, via video conference. To join a class go here and join the "Tidal marsh class" meeting. A new session will be set up each week. The meeting title is case sensitive!
